Olotia is a genus of fungi in the family Psathyrellaceae. The genus is monotypic and contains the single species Olotia codinae which was previously classified as Psathyrella codinae.[1]
Taxonomy
The Olotia genus was created in 2020 by the German mycologists Dieter Wächter & Andreas Melzer when the Psathyrellaceae family was subdivided based on phylogenetic analysis.[2] Several members of the Psathyrella genus were reclassified and placed in new genera. A single species was placed in Olotia.[citation needed]
The type species, Olotia codinae was previously known as Psathyrella codinae after being classified in 2018 from a discovery in Spain, where it is so far only known from.[3][4]
Etymology
The genus is named after the city of Olot in Spain, where the type species was documented.[2]
Psathyrella codinae was named in memory of Catalonian mycologist Joaquim Codina, 150 years after his birth.[4]
Description
Olotia codinae is a small mushroom with a brown to brownish yellow cap that is 8.5-15mm in diameter. The hollow stem is 17-24mm tall with a thickness of 1.8-2.8mm. The mushroom is described as smelling slightly like radish (raphanoid) but having little noticeable taste.[4]
